UNITED ls'riiiiazs vBUILDING WALL.

Application led August l29, 1924. Serial No. 734,953. I I i This invention relates to building walls, designed with special reference to heat 1nsulation. f

The object of the invention is to construct a wall which will b'e inexpensive yet durable, and which will provide an elective insulation to prevent-the exchange of heat between the interior of the building and the outside atmosphere. The wall is constructed in such a manner as to prevent convectional currents in the space between `the sheathing and plaster, and 4thus prevent the formation of sweat and its undesirable con" and may, if desired, be held by cleats 15.

sequences.

The structure consists primarily in securing within the wall an intermediate lining, preferably of corrugated pasteboard or other brous material, and so secured as to forni a series of comparatively small pockets adjacent the laths and plaster, whereby convectional currents are prevented. The lining may be'used -in the side walls of the building or between the'upper story and the attic. floor.

The structural details oithe invention willY be more particularly'described in con` lnection with the accompanying drawing, in

which- Figure 1' is an elevation o a portion of ai wall embodyingone form of the invention, with the plaster and some of the'laths removed. i

Figure 2 is a sectionalv view of the completedwall taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 shows a portion of an unfinished wall of modified construction, having in-4 serts pasted Within it to form additional air spaces.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary cross section o f the completed wall taken on the line 5 -5 ofFigure 4.

Figure 6 is perspective view of a portion of one of the inserts with pasting strips attached thereto.

As shown in thedrawing, the wall com prises the usual studs 5, on the outside of which are secured sheathing 6 and siding 7, separated by building paper 8. On the inside of the4 studs 5 are secured the laths 9 and plaster 10. In carrying out my invention, I provide an' intermediate lining 11, which consists preferably of corrugated pasteboard made up of two or more layers offlat. paper separated by corrugated paper. This. intermediate lining is made up of Separate sections extending 'from side .to side between the studs, and separated every 1, 2, 3, or 4 feet by headers 12 formed of the same material. In applying the lining to the studs,it is cut to such a width'that the `opposite side edges may be'bent to form side flanges 13, with the bending lines 14 separated by'a distance equalv to the distance between the faces of the adjacent studs. These side flanges 13 are. secured to the studs immediately in rear ot the laths 9,

The adjacent ends of` the liningsections are similarly bent to forni horizontal flanges 16 extending from side to side ot the space befi shown is'very simple and easily' accomplished. The several sections of lining may be cut xto the desired length, so that the headers 12 will be a suitable distance apart to prevent the formation of convectional currents due to the heat inside the wall, while fthe dead air spaces within the paper itself form an effective insulation between the moderate degree of heat inside the 'lining members 11 is subdivided by a plu-I rality of inserts 18 formed of the samekind of material 4as the lining 11. Each of these inserts 18 is bent to form oppositel'y disposed langes'19 of approximately half the width of the flanges' 13 and 16, and the several flanges-19 are connected to each other and to the flanges 16 by pasting'strips 20. Other pasting strips 21 are provided for attaching the inserts to the flanges 13 adjacent the studs 5. Arranged in this manner, the

' pocket formed b the insert 11 is divided substantially mi -vvayl between `the bottom of the same and the lath and plaster, while the flanges 19 divide the pocket vertically into a numberv of smaller sections, which forms a more effective heat insulation. These inserts 18 may be used or omitted according to the conditions under which the build.-

, ing is constructed, and the character of the building. 0

Although I have shownthe specllic construction by means of which the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that this is merely illustrative, and that modifications may be made in the kind of paper orA other fibrous material yfrom which the lining is made, as well as the specific manner in which it is attached to the studs without departing from the spirit of the invention or'sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

What is claimed is :y v 1. In a building wall, the combination with studs having the 4outer and inner por- .tions of the wall secured to their opposite edges, of an intermediate lining spaced from the outer and inner portions of the wall and made up of sections laid end to end one above the other between thefstuds, the side edges ofl the sectionsbeing bent at right angles and secured to the opposed faces of the studs, the adjacent ends of the sections being'also bent at right angles to form horizontal flanges 'which abut against each other and bridge the space between the lining 'andthe inner portion of the Wall to`form enclosed separate pockets, the corners formed by the'folding of the -sidesand ends-being folded behind the abutting flanges to reinforce the same and maintain theirfaces in' abutting relation.

2. In a building wall,the vcolilbiiwtion Aas my ownI have hereto alixed with studs having the outer and inner portions of the" wall secured to their opposite.v

edges, of an intermediate lining spaced from the inner and outer portions of the wall composed of paper having a plurality of flatsheets separated by a corrugated sheet, said lining being made up of sections laid end to end one above the other in the severalspaces between the studs, the side edges of the sec" tions being bent at right angles and se-J cured to the opposed faces of the '.studs, the

.adjacent ends ofthe sections ,being turned inwardly to form horizontal .flanges which abut againsteach other and bridge the space 4between thelining and the inner portion of spaced from the outer and inner Wall Sec# tions and made up of sections having'their adjacent edges turned inwardly to form flanges which abut against each other and bridge the space between the lining andthe inner sections of the Wall to form separate enclosed pockets, al plurality of inserts in each pocket subdividing it in thickness and height to form additional dead air spaces,

and pasting strips on the adjacent edges of i I I said inserts for securing the Said inserts in positlon. 1

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing ture.
